Satellite C series CD/DVD writer problem

If I try to copy Photos from my laptop to a CD it seems to go through the process then gives a message " verification failed " . Same happens with a word file. It also seems a bit hit and miss what happens when I try to start copying.

my last laptop (earlier version ) had no difficulties
its no matter what notebook you have.
Different notebooks are equipped with different optical disk drives…
In most cases the copy problems appear due to compatibility issues between the ODD and the medium.
Also there are big differences between the CD / DVD manufacturers…
So probably the same DVD-RW or other medium from another manufacturer (TDK, Verbatim???) would work properly…
You have to test it…

  • [b]M30-X series[/b] - [i]DVD writer problem[/i]

    Hello,
    My DVD-RW drive perfectly writes CDs (CD-R and CD-RW). Today first time I tried using DVD RW disc and it didnt work. I am using Nero Express 6. I added files to the writing window and clicked Next. Then normally the BURN button must appear active as in the case of CD writing. I waited and it doesnt appear active.
    I was thinking may be I dont have DVD writing driver or something. I formatted the laptop once and so far the Device Manager shows everything ok, in CD-DVD it TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-R6112. Does it have to show also some kind of DVD-Writer or something?
    Can somebody help me out with this?

    at the moment i'm guessing two things
    either your have bought the wrong media for your drive, meaning that you have bought a DVD+R or DVD+RW, while your drive only supports DVD-R and DVD-RW.
    Notice the difference between + and -. - is the older standard and the most compatible with DVD players etc. the + standard is quite more recent than the -, and it supports more functions compared to the -.
    or
    in Nero there is a drop down menu where you can choose which recorder to use, although there is one drive on your laptop, they are listed as two seperate ones and they have the same drive number i.e. E: (at least in mine its like that, but mine has the supermultidrive by matsu****a). Click on that menu to choose the DVD writer instead of the CD-R/RW drive.

  • Dvd writer problem

    my dvd writer fails to write dvd but can write cd.

    Please identify your notebook/pc .
    Look at the base/rear/side of the notebook/pc at the barcoded sticker.
    Post item number 2 as seen on the following example of an HP notebook's barcoded sticker. The barcode on your HP product may be slightly different in appearance, but will still have the important information needed for us to help you.  
    ###Do not post the serial number of your product as it is personal information.###
    Post the installed operating system version (state whether it is 32 or 64-bit ) and the CPU as an AMD or Intel product
    Not posting all of the information as requested will delay our responses and slow troubleshooting of the issue that led you to author a thread.
    Is your notebook/PC still within its warranty period?

  • K8 Neo 4 Plaltinum sli, dvd writer problems

    Hello people,
    first of all, this is my rig:
    Venice 3200+ @ 2500 (250x10 HT 4x)
    Msi k8 neo 4 platinum sli
    Leadtek PX-6600GT
    2x maxtor 80GB diamond max 10 IDE
    LG GSA-H22N dvd writer
    2x 512MB twinmos 2,5 3 3 7 @ 415Mhz
    Some time ago i put my hard drives in raid 0 and found that my old dvd-writer (lg GSA-4167B) became unusable, the system locked up randomly for ~20 seconds while writing/reading for more than 2-3 minutes. I found that nvraid does this with some dvd-writers(even though it's not activated on that device), so i deactivated nvraid, and changed my dvd-writer(i accidentally dropped the old one down some stairs  :(), now it does the same thing, nvraid disabled, same settings like it was before, when it worked fine.
    If anybody has an idea on how i can get over this .... please shout, i'm sick of waiting 20-25 mins to burn a 75% filled dvd at 8x and not be able to do anything alse at the same time 

    I have had this issue on both my platinum and my F boards. The only solution i have found is to  take the dvd ribbon, using one ribbon per dvd rom. I put the master end nto the mobo and what used to be the mobo end into the dvd rom.
    Let us know if this takes care of your problem.
    It seems really odd, but give it a try.
    EDIT: doh i didnt see the ide part... sry

  • DR4-A DVD Writer Problems

    I've just installed my new DR4-A DVD writer into my PC.
    Everything seemed to be fine.  Windows XP (SP1) detected the drive and installed the default Windows drivers (there don't seem to be any specifically provided by MSI for the drive).
    Over the last couple of days I've been burning CD-Rs with the drive and the supplied Nero software without any problems.  Today, I went out and bout two packs of Sony 5DMR47A DVD -R disks.  When I insert one of these disks into the drive the drive doesn't recognise them and in Windows Explorer and Nero it says there isn't any disc inserted.  I've tried all the DVDs in both packs and get the same problem every time.  Or is there an incompatibility between these type of DVDs and the drive?
    Any help would be really appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi.
    Thanks for that.  I'd already upgraded my software that was supplied with the DVD drive to the latest build of version 5.5.
    On another note, I went and bought some TDK DVD-RW Disks today, and they worked fine.  So could it be an incompatibility between the drive and that particular make of Sony DVD -Rs?

    Hi
    My system is a AMD athlon 2600, 1Gb Crucial DDR 400 RAM, Tyan tacheon 9600 pro and a pioneer A106 DVD writer.
    I have connected IDE1 to the hard drive and IDE 2 to the Pioneer DVD writer.
    When
    i) IDE 2 (DVD) is NOT connected  the system boots up very quickly.
    ii) IDE 2 is connected , the sytems start up time is a lot slower.
    The DVD writer works then intermittently and sometimes doesnt even respond in explorer.
    Anyone got any ideas on why this is?
    Thanks

  • DVD Write problem

    I have previously burned DVD's on my Computer with no problem. Today I tried to burn a DVD and I've gone through 5 DVD and keep getting the same error when the disc is about 60% done burning. This is what console shows:
    Finder: Burn started, Tue Feb 14 22:33:53 2006
    Finder: Burning to DVD-R media with DAO strategy in MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-815 D0CB via ATAPI.
    Finder: Requested burn speed was 1x, actual burn speed is 1x.
    Finder: Burn underrun protection is supported, and enabled.
    Finder: Burn failed, Tue Feb 14 22:59:20 2006
    Finder: Burn sense: 4/03/00 Hardware Error, Peripheral device write fault
    Finder: Burn error: 0x80020022 The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry.
    I also noticed a strange scratchy noise while burning it does not do it any other time even when reading other discs. Is this a hardware problem? Is there a DVD drive replacement that will fit that I can buy third party and install myself?

    I just wanted to add that I tried CD burning and it works fine. No funny noises, no problem. I reset the PMU and tried DVD burning again. Still doesn't work. Still makes a funny noise while writing data to the disc.

  • Lenovo G550 DVD writer problem.

  • HP Dvd Writer Problem

    Respect to kinglord55
    i contacted Princo technical engineer and i described the problem to him and provide him with my laptop model and other info , so he found the clue ... their message to me is this :
    "We have studied your problem and summarized from our end as follows:
    * Our Slim DVD 24X is very thin, so that your laptop DVD-RW Writer is recognizing our Slim DVD as mini DVD-R (8 cm with 1.5GB).
    * This could be happen because of either the DVD-RW writer firmware mismatch or old model DVD-RW writers.
    DELL N5010 is little bit old model, we have tested with DELL N5110 and most of the laptop/desktop model DVD-RW writers and it gives excellent performance. So already said some model Computer PC and other laptops it is working with 4.7GB capacity. It is the same reason.
    We recommend you to contact your Laptop Vendor to upgrade the firmware of your DVD-RW writer or try to use new model Writers. DELL always have their latest firmware."
    so i think that my DVD-RW is old like he said and will never recognize the slim DVD-R as i upgraded its firmware but nothing happens .
    add that i used another brand of discs that are not slim and it gives me the full capacity 4.7GB without any problem and that make sense and confirms the technical engineer's concept .

  • COMBO DVD WRITER PROBLEM

    Hi there,
    The DVD combo drive in my Satellite laptop has stopped funtioning. I am currently running XP.
    The DVD drive, once you put a CD/DVD in it, flashes for a few times and then stays with its light on. It seems that it is trying to read the medium but then it stays idle.
    If you just open and close the drive then in blinks and then the light comes off.
    Any ideas what is wrong with it??
    Thanks in advance,
    Leon

  • New DVD writer on Satellite M40-193 uses 100% CPU

    Hello anyone,
    recently I have replaced my DVD-writer with a new one. My laptop is a Satellite M40-193 (PSM40E-06M026IT) and the original drive is a Mat****a UJ-831B. I have replaced it with a Sony-Nec Optiarc AD-7633A because I like the slot-in feature and the Labelflash feature.
    Unfortunately it makes me a problem. It will use 100% CPU every time I use it. I cannot figure out the problem. Is there anyone who can help me? It is a software problem or hardware?
    Thank you.

    After six days this is the only help I can get on this forum: "...this optical disc drive is compatible with your notebook model?".
    The ATA communication bus is a standard.
    The exsistence of a compatibility list does not means that ONLY those drives present in the list can work with the relative notebook.
    Those drives are the ones tested and the ones that Toshiba says: "this drive surelly work" but not says "this is the only drive that work".
    In fact I have RESOLVED the question with a little software I have found on another forum and now my drive works perfectly and I have a newer and more featured drive than those in the list.
    Thank you Mike

  • Satellite A40-SP151 - DL DVD-RW writer compatibility - ide#1 error

    Hi
    Can anyone add to list of *compatible DVD writers for Satellite A40-SP151*
    Googling the drives previously listed, they appeared to be just DVD-Roms/CDRW combo's.
    ie:
    Toshiba G8CC0000R810
    Hitachi G8CC00015810
    TEAC G8CC0001D810
    HITACHI G8CC0001K810
    Panasonic G8CC0001C810
    Toshiba SDR2412OAA
    I'm trying to upgrade to a DL DVD-RW drive.
    I can confirm Pioneer KD08 and Panasonic UJ-850 FWv1.10 are _not_ compatible, the latter I cannot find any firmware for (to try and swap master / slave settings)..(Dont want to mess with the Pioneer)
    I think the TOSHIBA DVDRW/CDRW COMBO Part No. SD-R6112 is compatible if anyone can confirm this?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    this problem can be solved by simple "upgrade" of Yours new drve (which is not compatible).
    Solution :
    http://www.motherboardpoint.com/t135374-internal-burner-not-detected-tosh-1805.html
    that means opening new drive cover and some soldering (this can void new drives warranty ....)
    You need jumpering pins 45 & 47 of new DVD drive connector
    This worked for Satellite 1800 series, Satellite A10/A15 series notebooks- few drives were upgraded.
    But "Making this modification requires not only soldering, but
    EXTREMELY fine soldering. Most users will not be able to perform this
    on their own.." .
    By my opinion is better to give some $$ for technician who ia able to do this soldering job and
    not to search compatible drives, as I know ,is not very easy to find ...
